Pornography peddler Stormy Daniels has claimed she is “fully prepared to go to jail” and “would rather die” before paying President Donald Trump the $670,000 she owes as a result of multiple legal cases she has lost. Her remarks in violation of court orders came in an interview with sexual deviant Jeffrey Toobin on Saturday.
Daniels went as far as to text Toobin, “I’ll wear a dominatrix outfit to court. It’ll make for a festive mugshot,” when asked what she would do if held in contempt of court for refusing to pay.
Critically for Trump’s lawyers, Toobin also admits: “Her debt to Trump—and her refusal to pay it—complicates her usefulness as a witness, because the defense will surely argue that her anger about the debt gives her a motive to lie about the former president. So, as it happens, the story of Daniels’s debt—how it came about and what it means today—may be of considerable importance. In fact, the outcome of the presidential election and the future of American democracy may turn on it.”
Daniels’s debt stems from her hiring of disgraced lawyer and media darling Michael Avenatti, who presented a case against Trump “so weak” that federal judge S. James Otero awarded Trump legal fees of $293,000, and appealing this added $121,000 in further costs.
“With interest and court fees the number now stands at around $670,000,” writes Toobin, who seeks to portray the porn purveyor in a sympathetic light.
But even her former lawyer, Avenatti himself, now says, “[s]he has zero credibility, and she is the most opportunistic person I’ve ever met.”
To this day, Daniels claims to communicate with the dead, including a haunted doll called Susan. Toobin explains that this behavior may cause Daniels problems at the upcoming Manhattan trial, which begins later this month.
